600W Amplifier and power Supply

The photo shows the completed class D 600W 160m and 80m amplifier, mains power supply and antenna change over board. The front pannel connectors provide a connection to the transmit o/c output from the drive transciever (FT817ND, background right). All RF connections and made via the back pannel. The white plastic box houses the slow start circuit from a microwave oven and the rewound oven transformer is on the left. All mains wiring (should be) double insulated. Fuses (a) rear pannel mains input fuse 10A (b) slowstart fuse 10A (c) 24v mosfet fuse 30A.

FT 817 Power Amplifier

This very simple 2 Fet power amplifier easily achieves 250W output with an FT817 5W drive. The key design details as follows: 3:1 broadband input transformer matches the 5.5 ohm gate load resistor (4 x 22 ohms in parallel) to the 50 ohms required by the FT817 . The 4:1 output broadband transformer presents 3 ohms (16:1 impedance ratio) to the balanced HEXFET pair each mounted on a 3mm copper heat spreader which is insulated from the 2 1w/degC heatsinks. These are blown cool by a fan underneath. The power supply required is 28v at 30 amps. The amp is around 50% efficient with a standing 750mAmp temperature compensated bias. An IC 703, with 10watts output will drive the output to around 400 watts. The output filter shown is a 5 pole topband filter with T130-2 torroids and 400v silver mica caps. Peak output voltage on 160 metres with 5 watts drive is 160v or 320v p-p in 50 ohms equating to 250watts. This is slightly higher than the reading on the 3kw MFJ power meter. The inline F...
